Julie Burros, The City of Boston’s Chief of Arts and Culture, will explain cultural plans and explore what they can accomplish for a city. Discussing her work in both Boston and Chicago, Burros will illustrate how the cultural plans for these cities were created, the goals they aimed to achieve, and what each city has accomplished to date. The talk will also compare the long-range efforts of Chicago’s plan (completed in 2012) to the near-term implementation effects of Boston’s plan (completed in June 2016).
